Loftis combed U.S., British, Portuguese and German archives and Popov’s own memoirs-and interviewed surviving members of Popov’s own family-to produce “Into the Lion’s Mouth: The True Story of Dusko Popov: World War II Spy, Patriot, and the Real-Life Inspiration for James Bond.” But in researching the lives of spies in World War II, he discovered Popov’s story and decided that this was a truth no fiction could touch. But from the early days of World War II, Popov risked his life as a double agent to aid the Allies in the fight against the Nazis.įlorida attorney Larry Loftis had been intending to write a fictional spy novel, he tells the ABA Journal’s Lee Rawles in this episode of the Modern Law Library. In a different time, Dusko Popov might have enjoyed the life of a Serbian playboy without the interruption of espionage, subterfuge and violence.
